Abstract: An automatic ball serving apparatus for serving tennis balls for practice purposes. Balls which are loaded into a feed container are passed through a main bucket and fired through a firing barrel by compressed air. A pair of motors oscillate the firing barrel independently in both horizontal and vertical directions so that balls will be fired having random trajectory, distance and lateral displacement.

Abstract: Automatic ball serving apparatus for serving, lobbing, volleying or smashing balls, such as tennis balls, for practice purposes wherein two cans or buckets are vertically stacked to form a lower generally cylindrical compressed air chamber and an upper generally cylindrical ball feed chamber, a ball firing barrel outside said lower bucket connected to both said ball feed chamber and to said compressed air chamber so that balls fed into said firing barrel will be fired therefrom by the compressed air in said lower chamber, and a stand for oscillating said apparatus while balls are being fired from said barrel so that the trajectories of different balls will lie in different directions.
